Recent Travels and
Other Pieces of my Life
             by Birgit Schuette
This is my first attempt at a web page, so you can either love it or hate it!!! (And please feel free to tell me in the Guestbook below - I won't be upset.)
The main reason for this page was actually just to store some of my pictures, so I wouldn't have to carry them back and forth every time I move from the US to Germany or vice versa (as I had been breaking my back doing the past two years.)

But then I figured, why the hell not expand it and put a whole bunch of silly stuff on it? So here it is!

Many Topics to Choose from:
A Little of My History...

SURVEY Of SILLINESS:

My Loves:
What can I say: MEN. MUSIC, my friends, CHOCOLATE, animals, taking pictures of the world's beauty, alcohol, eccentric people, good movies, big cities, learning capoeira and Ju-Jitsu.

My Likes:
Driving on the highway with good tunes and decent weather, swimming in cool lakes on REALLY HOT days, Kitties.

and my Not-So-Quite-Likes:
genetically engineered food, fast food (usually), German folk music, living in the suburbs, cleaning, airplane food, being a passenger in any moving vehicle (I get carsick).

Things that Piss Me Off:
Phoniness, poaching, being ordered around, people that don't use their blinkers on the highway, people on a power trip (such as the immigration officers at the airport! hey fuckers, remember me?).

Things that bore me but I do them anyway
dying my hair, writing resumes and cover letters.

Music I like Goa, Drum&Bass, Brazilian Music (incl. Capoeira music), Hardcore, Metal, Punk, Emo, Tech-house, Industrial, weird chanty stuff like Enigma and the Muslim guy on the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack, Flamenco Chillout (sp. Chambao from Barcelona), Anything that sounds tribal (this includes anything from tribal techno to authentic tribal music), some hip hop and rap (booty music!), random wussy romantic stuff, spacy music like Pink Floyd or Radiohead, 60s, 70s and 80s music, Madonna. 
(It probably would've been shorter to list what I DON'T like.)

Movies I Love Natural Born Killers, Mulholland Drive, Tim Burton Movies, Lost Highway, Quentin Tarantino movies, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Run Lola Run, the new version of Romeo and Juliet, 12 Monkeys, Interview with the Vampire, Dark City, Amélie, City of the Lost Children, Vindoc, dumb comedies like Ace Ventura Pet Detective and Mel Brooks movies.

10 most beautiful cities I have seen: New York City, Budapest, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Beunos Aires, Prague, Vienna, Rome, San Francisco, Venice.

What I do: Drink, go to goa parties in Germany, travel, art, photography, parties, listen to music, participating in the stereotypical girlie act of shopping, watching movies, martial arts (specifically JiuJitsu or Capoeira), eating, cooking, reading, writing, daydreaming.

Fictional Characters I'd marry if they were real: Aragorn from Lord of the Rings

Rock Stars I would Nail Glenn Danzig (then&now), The singer from HIM when he wears his Beanie, Maynard James Keenan for his genius, and Marilyn Manson for his intelligence and innate fashion sense.

Pets I'd own if they wouldn't eat me first: Tiger

What I love in a man Intelligence, experience, quirkiness, appreciates and preferably trains martial arts, taller than me, be able to share my ridiculous sense of humor, cultured, be able to have long conversations with me, and a smile that makes my heart warm. Someone who can balance being affectionate and kind while still keeping me on my toes. He has to be passionate about something and inspire me.
